The monday.com platform exists at a unique crossroads of capability and ease of use. Data can be entered, viewed, moved around, and altered with very little effort and zero programming knowledge. Once your boards and workflow progress through their ‘digital adolescence,’ growing into a more complex entity, it becomes less easy to view, process, or use use all of the information your boards contain.
That’s where dashboards come in. With a few clicks you can connect the desired boards, choose the columns from which you want information, and apply filters to highlight exactly the data you need to analyze. Then, choose your widgets to transform that data into a visually digestible format.
Want to see progress on a project? there’s a widget for that
Want to see the weekly workload for each of your employees based on project quantity or necessary hours? There’s a widget for that.
Want to have all of your financial information–past billing, upcoming billing, payments due in the next day/month/week, pipeline, forecast, breakdown of sales by person, team, marketing effort or quarter? There’s a widget for all of that.
The monday.com platform is super user friendly. The low code/no code format means you don’t have to be a developer to slice and dice your data to present exactly the information you need in the format you want. Being better informed means you can make better decisions, better plans, and better pizza–wait, that’s a different company– All jokes aside, having thousands pieces of information in your board isn’t useful if it takes a week to run reports and boil it down into something meaningful. Dashboards are connected live to your data, and the information presented is in real time. If you base decisions on a quarterly report, your actions are a quarter behind.
